Dilatoriness will only tend to aggravate it and increase the obligation. 'The state by reason of the present deficit in its funds to meet authorized obligations, is now paying Interest upon moneys borrowed from other funds or from outside sources." Serious Problem The rapid Increase in enrollment at Oregon state institutions of higher learning Is a very serious housing problem confront ins the state govern ment. Kozer said and there looms the probability the institutions will have to be provided with some source of revenue other than the annual mil lace tax levies. "Substantially all of the revenues accruing to these institutions from their annual millage tax levies and other sources are now absorbed in their operating activities." Kozer said. 'Consequently it follows the needed buildings at these institutions during the next 10 years mist be provided lor from other souri w than their millaee levies. In 1910 there were about 2600 students registered in the agricultural ! college, the university and the normal schools. These registrations number ed approximately 5600 on 1920. Dur ing the past 10-year period the stu dent registration for resident instruc tion as these Institutions have risen to approximately 8000 for the year . 19-29. or about 43 per cent increase over the year i920. i '"The percentage in Increase In reg istration during the past few years has not been as great each 'year over the preceding year as during a similar period of some few years ago. There eems to be no question, however. hat there must be new buildings and equipment for these institutions to meet the needs of their ever increas ing registrations." firs WONDERFUL" 1 STATES MRS.

I wisn to deny most enphatlcally the 'published statements to the effect j that Senator Jay H. Upton had any thing to do with the removal of Mr. ! Sawyer. The unvarnished truth Is that Mr. Upton had no knowledge of my intention to remove Mr. Sawyej ' and was not a party to ft in any way. : shape, or form. I accept the entire j responsibility for removing Mr. Saw- ye. i No. Criticism of Appointees : "It is pleasing to me to note that In no single instance have I heard i anyone disapprove of the selections l !made to fill the vacancies caused by 'these removals, that of M. A Lynch jto the highway commission, Mr. ' Dave Evans to the game commission and Mr. Halson to the world war vet 1 erans' state aid commission. I am al- I so pleased to note that there has ;been no criticism of my work as gov ernor. Such criticisms as have been made relate only to the removals stated and some petty charges con cerning my official expenses.
